Child pornography is a crime. When you take or send a picture depicting someone under the age of 18 in a state of full or partial nudity, you are guilty of child pornography. The law doesn’t distinguish between "traditional" child porn trafficking and sexting.

The purpose of the Pennsylvania law is to protect children, even if it means protecting them from themselves

This program was designed by the education institute of the Pennsylvania District Attorneys Association, its Juvenile Prosecutors Network and in partnership with Media Solutions, a division of WITF, the PBS affiliate in Harrisburg, as a way to teach middle school children about some of the myths and misinformation about the juvenile justice system and the consequences of engaging in illegal activity.

Not knowing the law is no excuse, especially when a child is standing before the judge. This program is targeted at children in 6th – 8th grade. It explains to children that acting as a lookout for someone who is committing a delinquent act can get you in trouble with the law; that bomb threats, even if there isn’t a bomb, can lead to a felony offense; that bullying can be considered a terroristic threat; and that simply agreeing to hold someone else’s drugs or weapon, with no money exchanging hands, is breaking the law. Children see what it is like to be searched by a police officer, sit in a lock-up and stand before a judge. They are also taught that a juvenile record can have serious long-term consequences. It can prevent young people from getting a job, serving in the military, receiving scholarships, or getting or keeping a driver’s license.
